This looks like it might be the first time we win the most medals.
Its been a great Olympics everywhere.
The Long Program was amazing.
Records and personal bests. All the things that make up Olympic worthy performances.
Just about to see the medals awarded.
The South Korean girl was extraordinary. _________________

I dont think she can help the Toronto Maple Leafs to be a better hockey Team

Eve I agree with you 100%! The ladies figure skating was breathtaking to watch! Congratulations to all of the figure skaters!
Not only was Kim Yu-Na's skating exceptional, but I loved her costume!

It was beautiful, not painful on the eyes.
Too many bad reds out there. _________________

Congrats to them they Skate quit beautifully

but I also notice that when they announce her points she wasn't happy ... hey u can't win all right ... But they did really good _________________

She earned it. Both of her programs were excellent.

Okay.

Apples and oranges. Acting is much more subjective. There have been other athletes who've had heartbreaking things happen in their lives as they competed in the Olympics and I've never known any favoritism to be shown.
Last night's judging was actually harsher than it was for the short program. Everyone had their missteps, but overall they also all performed remarkably well... Yu-na just pulled out all the stops and was unbeatable all around.

Nope she was better than the one behind her. We were watching for that.
Feeling a little sad that the skating is over. The Gala night is never as good.

Yu-Na was unreal. That was the true gold medal performance.
The girl in 4th had one more major biff than the Canadian girl did. _________________

It was an amazing game. I have a new respect for curling now.
I can't believe Korea was DQ'd in the 3000m relay. What a blow, since everyone thought they had won and were already going crazy. I'm not even sure if it was an intentional bump. But one has to trust the referee. I just feel really bad for them. _________________
